Dr. Fadhal Ali Al-Faraji, of the Ministry of
Agriculture and Irrigation, mentioned that his country is
suffering from an increase in sandstorms, dune formation and
salinization and that the government does not have sufficient

stabilize dunes and that 5 million salt-resistant shrubs have
been planted.
